this week's challenge theme at our midweek muse is "it begins with an A." the first thing i thought of was The Scarlet Letter, a book by Nathaniel Hawthorne. in this story, a woman in American puritan times, Hester Prynne, is forced to wear a scarlet letter "A" to represent her adultery, because she gave birth to a child by a man to whom she was not married. only the woman was punished, of course. (although in the story the man, incidentally a preacher, ultimately dies from his guilt).
the woman here is from ameria design studios. i took the image of a church from pixabay and rendered it in black and white. additional images are from pixabay and mischief circus. roses were featured in the book.
women take a lot of the heat for things that go wrong in this world it seems. thus this second creation featuring a famous apple...
well, i hope it gives you a smile... images from retired mischief circus and retired dezinaworld.
love to all.
